How to Use the Mav MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Mav server in Cursor?

Add the configuration to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file. Once added, the MCP Server is ready to be called by Cursor's agent mode in the chat panel.

Q: Can I use Cursor to update lead details in Mav?

Yes. You can tell the editor's agent to run updatelead to modify test records without leaving your codebase.

Q: How do I halt an active text campaign from the editor?

Ask your agent to run stopplaybook with the lead's ID. This halts the automated SMS run immediately.

Write code in Cursor that triggers real-time SMS playbooks and manages leads with live API context.

Test SMS workflows inside Cursor

Stop writing mock tests for your SMS marketing funnels. Use Cursor's agent mode with this MCP Server to query `list_playbooks` and pull real campaign IDs directly into your source files. Your agent can write functional integration code because it has live access to `get_playbook`. You get working code on the first try instead of guessing API payloads.

Debug lead creation during development

When building signup webhooks, you need to verify that leads actually enter the text queue. Let your Cursor agent run `create_lead` to run real test payloads and watch the automated texts trigger in real-time. If the payload fails, ask the agent to inspect the schema using `get_lead`. It will fix your TypeScript interfaces or database models based on actual API responses.

Monitor live SMS event logs in the editor

Tracking down asynchronous webhook bugs is a pain. Instead of tailing server logs in a separate terminal, tell Cursor to run `list_activities` to see the latest text events. If a test user opts out, you can verify the status change instantly. Run `opt_out_lead` from the editor sidebar to check how your database handles opt-out webhooks.

Setup guide

Set up Mav MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Mav MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Mav transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Mav tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
